🏛️ Year 4 Step Back in Time at Bancroft Roman Villa! 🏛️

Our Year 4 pupils had a fantastic time bringing their history learning to life with an immersive trip to Bancroft Roman Villa!

The children became true archaeologists and historians for the day:

🔍 Exploring Ancient Ruins: Walking among the preserved stonework and steps, discovering the layout of the 4th-century villa and tracking down the cold plunge pool and heated bath suites.

🏺 Hands-on Artefacts: Examining genuine historical finds up close, from ancient pottery to animal bones and teeth!

🎨 Crafting Mosaics: Channelling their inner Roman artisans by designing and creating their own colourful mosaic patterns.

🧠 Uncovering Daily Life: Learning all about hypocaust underfloor heating, Roman fashion and the board games people played over 1,600 years ago.

The children represented TPA brilliantly with their curiosity, thoughtful questions and excellent teamwork.

A huge thank you to the team at The Parks Trust for such an engaging and inspiring day out!

Which part of the villa was your child’s favourite? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

The mid-August uniform check! 👕📏

We know it feels like the summer holidays have only just started, but September will be here before we know it! If you are braving the shops or ordering via MyChildAtSchool this week, here is a quick reminder of our TPA uniform essentials to help you get prepared:

Shirts: Please ensure children have a plain white buttoned and collared shirt (rather than polo shirts).

Blazers & Ties: TPA Blazers are worn by children in Years 3 to 6. House colour ties are also required, and we have handy elasticated versions available for Reception, Year 1, and Year 2. (A special note for our new Reception parents: your child's first tie is completely free and will be given directly to them at school!)

Shoes: We ask that all children wear plain black school shoes. Please save the ballet pumps, plimsolls, and black trainers for the weekends!

PE Kits: Our indoor kits and winter tracksuits are available as bundles on MyChildAtSchool, featuring the official TPA logo. Just a quick reminder that PE trainers should be predominately plain black or plain white.

You can check the full uniform requirements including our policy on bags, hair accessories, and jewellery on our website: https://tpamk.co.uk/parents/uniform/

Who has already finished their back-to-school shopping, and who is leaving it until the very last week of August? Be honest! 👇🎒
